Why HEAR US needs financial support:
Simply put, the uniqueness of this project keeps us from qualifying for traditional grants. And, with the downturn of the economy and soaring homelessness, we'd rather shelters and programs providing direct service get the grants.
We have confidence that people who know what we do and who we are will support our efforts. So far, so good!
Budget Information:
- Personnel - One paid staff person, Diane, does most of the work (presentations, filming, writing, fundraising, etc.) The board and volunteers do the rest.
- Operations - Supplies, postage, overhead (rent, phone, equipment maintenance, etc.).
- Travel Expenses (gas, parking, tolls, etc.).
- Project Expenses - Video production/distribution, printing
- Capital- Equipment (so far all covered by previous grants!)
- Administration - A necessary expense, is minimal (7% est.)
- In-Kind Services-generous donations of technical, legal, and administrative services

The LEARNING CURVE EXPRESS, the HEAR US 2009-10 cross-country trip to give voice and visibility to homeleless children and youth, particularly those staying in motels or doubled-up with others, needs your support.
This ambitious effort will connect homeless families and teens with their legislators, via YouTube, with HEAR US' intervention. This unique endeavor will have a major impact on lives of homeless families and teens.
Our requests for foundation support for this project were turned down because of too few resources. But policymakers must hear from families and teens without homes! Help HEAR US by supporting this endeavor.

 Diane bought "Tillie," her 27' RV (with a 20-year mortgage!), not part of the HEAR US budget. She pays upkeep, insurance, etc., with her own funds.
It's her home-office space on wheels. She lives in it year-round, dependent on HEAR US friends for parking spots and borrowed vehicles.
As of Oct. 2009, she's traveled over 80,000 miles in the lower 48 states, made several videos and has shared her observations with thousands in an effort to give voice and visibilty to homeless children and youth.
